If Jesus is Lord, is He over the Father or under Him? Is He ranked at # 3 when it comes to the Trinity?

Question

I am a struggling doubting Christian, who is just trying to get some salvation issues under control. Could you please dear reader back up how Jesus is Lord and at the same "level" or "rank" with the Father and the wonderful Holy Spirit? Would He be under Him or over Him. I mean to be Lord, you would have to be ALL powerful which Jesus is (read the end of Matthew 28). But when I think of God, I think of the Father. Is Jesus over God, under Him, at the same level? I have a feeling He is at the same level, please back this up with scripture and explaination. Thank you very very much and please pray for me. Please ask Him if I am not saved to be saved and stay saved.

Answer 1

All 3 are the same dude. Otherwise it's not monotheism.

Answer 2

According to Colossians 1:15, 16 Jesus was the first creation by God and all other things were created by him and for him (in other words he was both co-creator and recipient of all good things which God made). Phillipians 2:9 says that God gave him (Jesus) a name which was above every name, but NOT above God's name. Psalm 83:18 says that Jehovah is the MOST HIGH over all the earth. He is the Father and Jesus calls him "my Father" and "my God" and God calls him "my son". 1 Corinthians 11:3 explains that the head of the Christ is God. This should clear up some of your confusion but if there is anything else I can help with, feel free to e-mail me.

Answer 3

Father is first in command

The son(Jesus) is second

and the Holy Spirit third.

Answer 4

Joe, Joe, Joe.
I believe that there are 3 beings in the Godhead, but that there is only one "God", or Heavenly Father.
BTW, that answer you gave me to my question about Mormons... I read it and re-read it, and I found not one sentence in the whole thing that is true, LDS doctrine-wise. You may want to get your facts straight. Except maybe the "No joke."

Answer 5

The Christian concept of the Trinity once seemed strange, perhaps even contrived, to me. How could something be three things that are one and one thing that is three? But the Trinity made sense to me once I came to believe in God, to recognize Him in Jesus Christ and to know the part of Him within me. My understanding of the Trinity, and belief in its truth, grew as I came to see that the universe itself reflects the three-in-one nature of the God who created it.
Water as solid, liquid and vaporMatter
Matter has three states, solid, liquid and gaseous. Each element is a single element, but it takes on different forms or manifestations under different conditions.
Three primary colors give white lightLight
Any color of light can be formed from the three primary colors. Light that appears as white, the purest of all, does not exist by itself but is the equal combination of red, green and blue light, and is a manifestation of three colors in one.
Three dimensions in spaceSpace
The space of our universe has three dimensions. You cannot define a point in space without using three dimensions, and yet that point is one.
Time in past, present and futureTime
Time in our universe has three dimensions that are found in past, present and future, yet it is a single continuum and only exists in the present.
Three primary forces of natureForces
There are three physical forces known to control all interactions in matter: gravitational, electromagnetic and nuclear. The Unified Field Theory seeks to identify one set of laws that describes all these forces as different manifestations of one force.
Atoms
The atom defines the most basic unit of every chemical element in the universe. The word atom comes from the Greek word for "indivisible," yet while it represents the purest essence of one element, the atom has three facets, with the positively charged proton and neutral neutron at its core, and the negatively charged electron outside the core that balances its electric charge and interacts with other elements.
Trisecting a line as the basis for design in creationLife
The physical design of the human body, and that of many other life forms, is based on a relationship known as the Divine Proportion, or Golden Section. This proportion is based on trisecting a line such that the ratio of the small piece to the large piece is the same as the ratio of the large piece to the entire line. It is also found by solving an equation with three terms, x3 - x2 - x1 = 0.
Nature of man
The nature of man is expressed as mind, body and spirit, analogous to, and in the image of, the triune nature of God. It's interesting to note that Genesis relates man being made by "us" in "our" image when referring to God, indicating the plurality in His nature.
Life on Earth
Life on Earth inhabits three domains, the sea, the land and the air.
Holy Trinity
Following the three-in-one nature that is found throughout creation, we find the three-in-one nature of the One God manifested in the Holy Trinity, with each Being revealing a different aspect of our God and Creator to us:
The Father, the part of God that is transcendent, infinite and beyond our understanding,
The Son, Jesus Christ, the part of God that is immanent and appeared to us in the way that we could best know Him, in human form. He was both "Son of God," an expression of God as contained in human form, and at the same time "Son of Man," the ultimate expression of who we can be in our most divine form.
The Holy Spirit, the part of God that lives in the heart and soul of each of us, acting as our Counselor for those who believe and listen to His voice within us.
